June 29th Summer Share #5

A bright sunny morning today after many days of rain and cold. A week of working in rain gear, long johns!! and a cap but all is well. Crops are really strong and aside from a few broccoli transplants failing in the muck we dance on into July. We are relieved and grateful that severe weather has passed us by.

We pulled the early sugar snap peas down and replanted the area with a second rotation of cucumbers, Scott is tying up the peppers that are growing tall, the hoop house was replanted after the bounty harvest of greens last week, we harvested the carrot trough and replanted it that evening, pickled the remaining garlic scapes and made some pesto too, and Maeve and Scott picked our sour cherries from our tree we planted when Maeve was born and froze them for winter. The final planting of squash went in, and we weeded. A fun week for all of us.

pickled garlic scapes.

Cherry Picking on Sunday.

Maeve with her harvest.

Replanting the carrot trough with the gorgeous tomato plants behind.

Tomato Plants are as tall as Maeve!

The big news is we purchased a fancy new potato digger! Scott has had enough of hand forking our miles of potatoes and we are moving on. It will save hours and HOURS! of time for us and will also work for garlic harvest and sweet potatoes too. We are thrilled and cannot wait to give it a spin.

Potatoes look gorgeous this season…..I might just say best ever!
